Learn-A-Thon: I have some topics related to animals but if you want to suggest something else then let me know

Who here is going to be brave enough to make an inchie out of clay? Anyone? You can use any type of clay...and you can even do something else like paper mache...just as long as the inchie is somewhat 3D.

I have seen some really cool clay inchies online but I'm not even sure where my clay is or if it's still usable.

The digital inchies started out as digital pictures/photographs that I took. Then I run them through one or more (or several) different editing programs until I like what I see. Then the images were cut-out intact or I used punches to create shapes. Lastly they were mounted on the inchie backgrounds today. These images have similar color hues so I made a set out of them.

That is quite the process! I would not have the patience to do that. XD i'll stick just using paints to make my inchies.
I found some air dry clay so I might go at that. I love that clay because it's so stretch and you can mix paint before you make anything so tha tyou do not have to worry about painting carefully. Unlike the more expensive brands this one is pretty nice.
And super super light too.

A Pokemon related game group decided today, of all days, to have an event....and on top of that they decide to do it while I'm at work. XD So instead of working I'm partially distracted by answering some polls in the hopes of winning some items and Pokemon for myself.
Hmm... I think I have some time to sketch some Pokemon inchies *pulls out notebook and pen*

Working on a shaker inchie: blue microbeads inside the fishbowl cutout. The goldfish is attached to the back layer. Still have some work to go on this one.

Oh wow the shaker inchie idea is very creative! I actually though you were displaying a fishbowl shaped inchie and your cat happened to be in the background! XD Still, it looks awesome! I love the little kittens too.

Oh wow! I like how you made a whole set, These would make an interesting "inchie window"

I am still thinking of what I want to do.. I am thinking of making a panda face at this time but time shall tell. I am most likely going to use Sculpey as that is what I have been wanting to play with for some time now. I also got some Amaco Cloud clay which is suuuuuper! If you want super light weight clay that is air dry then I recommend that. It is very stretchy and the best part: you can mix paints and all sorts of dye into it before making your creations and it does not flake or get harmed.
